Metamorphic. By contrast, igneous rocks form from lava or magma, and sedimentary rock form from sediment. Those things are formed from previous rocks, but constitute intermediate stages: igneous and sedimentary rocks are formed indirectly from previous rocks.
What affects the type of igneous rock that is formed?
Mineral composition of the magma, Rate of cooling of the magma, Temperature of the magma, Presence of volatiles and Amount of water present in the magma.

Sedimentary rock is formed from the processes of compaction and cementation of sediments.
How long does it take to form a rock?
It varies with the type of rock being formed. Some igneous rock is formed in a matter of minutes; some sedimentary rock is formed in processes requiring many millions of years.

Is magnetite extrusive or intrusive?
Extrusive and intrusive are terms that apply to a type or formative method of igneous rock. Magnetite is not igneous, nor is it a rock. Magnetite is a mineral, formed by the processes of crystallization.
Is sandstone limestone and shale are all examples of igneous rock?
Sandstone, Limestone and Shale are all examples of sedimentary rock, formed by layer after layer of different types of water born sediment laid down over millions of years and compressed into rock. The different types of sediment determine which type of rock is formed, obviously sand being the main component of sandstone, mud can form shale. Igneous rock is rock formed by volcanic processes, different minerals in the molten rock will determine it's type, such as granite. Metamorphic rock is the third type of rock formed by extreme pressure and heat upon sedimentary rock, marble being formed from limestone, slate from shale.
Rock type that is formed when sediment is lithified?
Sedimentary rock can be formed from lithified sediments.
